In Brief
Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission and selected candidates sought review of a Supreme Court judgment that had confirmed an order terminating their services based on alleged irregularities in an examination. The Court allowed the review petitions, directing that the candidates be continued in service. The decision rested on the grounds that the selected candidates were not given adequate opportunity to present their case before the High Court, they had worked efficiently for over 10 years without performance complaints, and Article 142 powers warranted doing complete justice where strict application would cause manifest injustice.
